The Dance Scene is basically the most amazing dance show in the world, and it follows me as a creative director. You see how I maintain that creativity. – Laurieann Gibson
If you love dance and you have the gift of teaching, teaching is super amazing and important because my teachers planted that seed in me. As a teacher you understand the difference or the definition of a Baryshnikov or a Gregory Hines, so teaching is really important and very necessary. – Laurieann Gibson
Ive created, directed and choreographed for Lady Gaga since the beginning, so Born This Way, this was musically such an amazing evolution and such a brilliant record. So when she played it for me, it took me a while to find out the visual interpretation that I could give back to her. – Laurieann Gibson
I think dance is amazing because what people dont realize is like when you dance your spirit and your soul get ignited. Youre not only releasing endorphins, but also your spirit is awakening. It makes you feel good and happy. – Laurieann Gibson
I was born left-handed, but I was made to use my other hand. When I was writing Famished Road, which was very long, I got repetitive stress syndrome. My right wrist collapsed, so I started using my left hand. The prose I wrote with my left hand came out denser, so later on I had to change it. – Ben Okri
